<br />The Board considered a resolution of reappointment for the Lee County Tax Administrator.
<br />County Attorney K. R. Hoyle told Board members Mr. Timothy Dwane Brinson was reappointed as Lee
<br />County Tax Administrator on October 5, 2009 to a two -year term by the Lee County Board of
<br />Commissioners. The current appointment ends on June 30, 2011 so Mr. Brinson must be reappointed
<br />for a two or four year term at this time. Commissioner Womack moved to reappoint Mr. Timothy Dwane
<br />Brinson to a four -year appointment as the Lee County Tax Administrator to become effective July 1,
<br />2011 — June 30, 2015. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Hayes, Oldham, Parks, Paschal, Reives, Shook, and Womack
<br />Nay: None
<br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
<br />The Board considered their meeting schedule for the months of July, August and September
<br />2011. County Manager John Crumpton asked the Board to consider a revised meeting schedule for
<br />the months of July, August and September which would involve only one meeting a month, unless a
<br />special meeting is required, in order to allow Commissioners and staff the opportunity to plan family
<br />vacation time. For the past several years the Board has only met on the 3' Monday during the summer
<br />months. After discussion, Commissioner Parks moved for the Board to hold one meeting per month
<br />during the months of July, August and September on the third Monday of each month beginning at 6
<br />p.m. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Hayes, Oldham, Parks, Paschal, Reives, Shook, and Womack
<br />Nay: None
<br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
<br />The Board considered construction drawings for a new Backup 911 Center, Emergency
<br />Operations Center (EOC), Emergency Management offices, Sheriff Office expansion, and Clerk of
<br />Court record storage. County Manager John Crumpton stated that staff is seeking approval from the
<br />Board of Commissioners to begin the design of the architectural plans and construction of a backup
<br />911 Center, Emergency Operations Center and office space, expansion of the Sheriff's offices and the
<br />creation of a new area for the Clerk of Court record storage in the basement of the Courthouse.
<br />Emergency Services Director Shane Seagroves outlined the proposed plan and discussed the need for
<br />additional space and an EOC for his department, along with additional needs for the backup 911 Center
<br />and Sheriff's Department. Mr. Crumpton stated that the County and City of Sanford have been in
<br />recent discussions about using the 911 funds to provide a backup to the current 911 system. If the
<br />County does not build the backup center, the City has requested the funds to build a backup in their FY
<br />2011 -12 budget request from the County. In addition, the City has provided their basement as the
<br />Emergency Operations Center for the past twenty years. Mr. Seagroves discussed how the current
<br />EOC is now out -dated and too small for County use. The County is responsible for emergency
<br />operations in the entire County and needs to have a facility that is large enough for the Shearon Harris
<br />training exercises and real life emergency /disaster events. The basement of the courthouse is a secure
<br />area that is large enough to house all of these operations that are critical to the County's emergency
<br />response. Mr. Crumpton stated that the County has $450,000 remaining from the 2008 transfer of the
<br />wire -line 911 fund balance to the General Fund, $644,610 available from the 911 fund balance of June
<br />30, 2010, and capital funds of $300,000 from the Woodland Avenue Building project fund that can be
<br />used to pay for this proposed project. Moseley Architects have provided schematic drawings and a
<br />project estimate for the project. At the April 18, 2011 meeting, the Board of Commissioners voted to
<br />allow staff to notify the State 911 Board of our intentions to use one -half of the fund balance in the 911
<br />fund as of June 30, 2010 for this project ($644,610). The Board also discussed the need for an
